TN River above Ft. Loudoun Lake  02 Nov 2023
Forecast Contributor – Capt. Chadwick Ferrell, Www.fishontours.com
Today we targeted smallmouth in 12-18 ft. Of water. The Ned rig, finesse rig worked best. Smaller striper and white bass hit the 3 hook A-rig shad pattern and the bigger striper hit live bait. We fished the Tennessee River near Knoxville TN. The cold front didn’t affect the bite too much, but the bait fish did pull out of the shallow bays into the deeper water.
